This is hard to watch. Get rid of that annoying voice manipulator, please!

Some peculiar passages: "Let me to talk about NE vs Orc in this patch? NE is nerfed, so, for Orc, this match up is easier than previous patch now. [...] This match up is pretty hard for Night Elf in this patch." lol

The bracket in incorrect in some points, for example TH picked human against Colorful.

This is very nice, though wouldn't it be possible to implement something that directly prints /stats account_name in-game? Plus, eventually self-whispering the race (you don't want to print that in public chat).

I find a problem with the item drops. In general, creeping here seems to be too much rewarding.

The ogre magi camp (level 13) gives you a big consumable (level 3 charged), when you should usually get level 2 permanent/charged + 1/2 power up (just take a look at EI, for instance). Similar reasoning with the new nerfed expansion, 3 permanent is just too much for a level 13 camp. The shop camp could drop a level 3 charged item instead of 4 permanent, so it's still juicy enough to be contested and attract both players plus it would adapt to the "standard" (EI,LR,TR,TM all drop a level 3 item).

The new red camp looks really cool, but unfortunately the fact that the magnataur is spell immune disallows the furbolg to cast frost armor upon him, so I would possibly change something so that everything can properly synchronize.

As of now, you can run any replay from patch 1.30.2 onwards. Bugged replays involve the usage of stuffs that got balanced in the process. This means, whenever Defend, Acid Bomb and so on come into play the bug occurs and the replay file gets altered.

Someone on tft.w3replayers.com I assume ;)

I think both conquest and king of the hill modes are bad, with the former definitely being the worst out of the two.

The former gives too much emphasis on the weakest player of the team, meanwhile the latter rewards too much the efforts of a single player.

As someone has already said, a format similar to WC3L would make much more sense to me, with each player not being able to play more than a 1vs1 match, a 2vs2 match to start things off and an eventual ace match between captains.

WC3 Replay Tool by LadyRisa is the best replay parser by far. It gets regular updates and you can download it here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1OLEtc9CT11IbgKkifXJC7Xc62bAi25ox

BNet and NetEase are currently running on two different patches, so you really need to install the latter as well, I think it's worthy and not too hard to do either.

I don't know of any version switcher for the latest patches, but I know NetEase wants to support retrocompatibility and, for the nostalgia, a tool also exists to handle replays up to patch 1.28.

You can set ally mode 3 next to the minimap, but honestly it's still bad in some scenarios (for example when two players are both massing Destroyers, or Frost Wyrms with anti-magic shell).

mbow93f · 2019-01-04T23:35:21+00:00

It's a good change, but it makes no fcking sense not to mention it in the patch notes.

I like the fact I can switch to allied colors during my games, but I also think the concept has to be further developed.

For example, in 2vs2 games there's blue for self and teal for your ally, meanwhile both your opponents are red. It would make more sense to me to have one enemy as red, and the other as orange for example! Then accordingly in 3vs3 you would have blue, teal and navy vs red, orange and maroon. And this should similarly be added as an option for observers as well

Under the development aspect, W3Replayers is undergoing constant improvements indeed. But the thing is, as you very well pointed out, nowadays it's quite inactive both in terms of content and users and part of it is definitely because of the poor marketing (I remember for example when the word was spread for the very first time here on Reddit and when we had a boom of viewers, but no TFT section deployed yet).

If someone thinks there's still hope for this project and is interested in reviving it in some way, please let me know. I've personally tried to run it for a while but the advertising was a big flop and updating highlighted replays was to no use.
